TEXAS

[babsbag]

I'm sorry Babs, I didn't mean to dis your beloved piece of California. If I remember correctly, you live in Southern CA, far from the maddening crowd. That would be okay. I just HATE crowds & can't afford to live in CA anymore.

I was born in So. CAL but been a No. CA girl since my dad was smart enough to move out there when I was 2. I grew up in the country with Yosemite in my back yard (almost) and lived in the same small town (sounds like a song) until I was done with 2 years of college. Then went to the central valley for a short time, and moved back to Sonora when I got engaged. A few years later a job change moved us to the Bay Area for 23 years. The kids went away to college and then I got smart enough to move us out of there. I now live in Northern No. CA, near Redding, a few hours from the OR border. The city is big enough and country is available everywhere. I love it up here. Now if Sacramento politics would just leave us alone life would be grand.

@Latestarter, I would love to be neighbors with just anyone on BYH.

@tressa27884 No fires up here this year, thankfully. Which reminds me...I need to find some kind of insurance for this dairy; this equipment has not been cheap. The dairy is going slow as it is just too darn hot to work on it much. I do a huge majority of the work myself and right now I am averaging about 2 hours a day. I am putting up wall panels in the milking parlor. My goal is March.

I was hoping to find land near you, but no luck. I've set my cap towards Texas! I'm really excited.

@Baymule - thanks for these listings. The one in Atlanta is on my most favorite list. My fingers are crossed it looks as good in person as it does in the photos. I can't believe I'll be in Texas in eight days!

NOOOOOOOOOOO000000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not Atlanta!!! It's too far away!!

On the other hand, Mineola is such a nice town.......

Well if Texas doesn't work you can always give No. CA another look, but I hope you find something that you like. There certainly are cheaper places than CA but I just can't give up our weather so here I stay. Good luck in your search.
